(More customer reviews)What a joy to review this book! Be sure you have some time to enjoy yourself when you open Belinda Hulin's Cajun-Creole Roux Memories because you won't be able to put it down.So much more than a cookbook, it's a memoir, a trip to another culture, a love story and yes, recipes.And what recipes!You don't have to be Cajun to fall in love!
Brimming with vignettes, pictures, history, and recipes to suit every palette, it's a wonderful addition to any library, kitchen, cozy nook or backyard hammock.The kind of book they call a wonderful read.
Hulin deserves a public service award for rescuing recipes that barely escaped being washed away by Katrina.It was a painstaking task to record the ones from her mother's recipe box and then she spent hours recreating the ones that weren't down on paper.They're on paper now though, complete with measurements and the proper ingredients. The result is a gift to posterity. Roux Memories tops my list for gifts to friends and family this Christmas.Do yourself a favor and put it on yours too.

Product Description:
In Louisiana, life happens in the kitchen. Children are reared and lives unfold over bubbling pots of gumbo, bowls of shelled peas, and shaved-ice sno-balls. The kitchen is the happy hub where heritage is conveyed, culinary traditions evolve, and Cajun and Creole cuisine is at its finest. Unfortunately, when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita destroyed homes and neighborhoods and displaced hundreds of thousands of people in Louisiana,bonds were stretched, and many recipes lost.Fortunately, Roux Memories offers the Louisiana diaspora-as well as anyone else with a love for Cajun and Creole fare-250 home-tested recipes along with snippets of life from a Cajun family with four decades of roots in New Orleans. Accompanying the recipes are vintage family and food photos as well as sidebars explaining the roots of Cajun and Creole cooking. Recipesinclude crawfish gumbo, Cajun corn soup, shrimp remoulade, New Orleans shrimp boil, hickory and spice burgers, cochon de lait, crawfish pie, alligator fritters, chicken and sausage jambalaya, pork cracklins, cracklin cornbread, dirty rice, king cake, pecan pralines, syrup cookies, and many more Cajun and Creole favorites.
